Hey everyone! Fall quarter is approaching and it's time for another year of book club! This quarter, the theme is "Books to Movies." As usual, we will be reading three books a quarter and this quarter we selected the following:
1. Water for Elephants by Sarah Gruen
2. Watchmen by Alan Moore
3. Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
As with every "Books to Movies" theme, after we read each novel, we will have a small party where we will be watching that particular movie.
Our meetings this year will be Wednesday 5:30-6:30 in the bookstore starting week two (October 5). Be sure to be there the first meeting! We will raffle a FREE copy of Water for Elephants!
Our presidents this year are Tiffany Giordano (tgiordan@uci.edu) and Lauren Smith (lnsmith@uci.edu). Contact them with any questions or go to the A.B.C. group on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=5356316843&v=info
We look forward to meeting all of you this coming quarter. Can't wait to start reading! :)

Nice book list! We actually read Watchman a couple years ago (I don't think anyone was still around for that). This summer Jolene and I met David Gibbons (the artist for Watchmen), and got our copies signed!
